the Buried Chest OF cold

Milwaukee Wisconsin: A roman
tic but true story OF the finding OF a
hidden chest of gold has been quietly
whispered about on the south side for
several weeks past among friends of
the parties interested. The gamers
by the discovery are the family of
Henry j. Peters, an old resident OF
Milwaukee, who died half year or
30 ago, aged about sixty years. Pc
tors for many years kept a grocery
and saloon at the corner of First
avenue and Scott street. He was al
ways miserably dressed, was niggard-
ly in his family expenditures, and
among the gossips in his vicinity
bore the reputation OF miser. He
was known to own several pieces
of property on tho south side, inolud-
ing the store in which he did bust
ness, but was for the most part sue
cessful in keeping his financial affairs
to himself. Even his family were
ignorant as to most Of his bust
ness transactions and the extent of
his possessions. When he was on his
deathbed he declined TO make q will
or to give even his vile any accurate
information as to his affairs, but
told her that after his death she
would find that he had left plenty
Tor herself and tho children. After
the old mans death the house was
rausaoked from top to bottom; but
no SIGNS of money, bonds or securi-
ties of any kind found. Months went
by, and the heirs were almost in.

would ever have more than the real
estate which Peters had died pos
sessed Of One day, however, an ac-
cident occurred which led to a happy
result. The sewer became filed up,
neoessitating the employment OF
workmen to dig under the house to
ret TO the place where the trouble
existed. Taking up the floor of the
cellar, preparatory to their work, the
men came upon a heavy box, secure
ly locked, and too ponderous to be
easily moved The good woman of
the house was called. At her desire
the chest Yves opened, and to her
surprise aud joy it was found to be
filled with gold ooin--dollars, eagles,
double eagles and some foreign
coins Of the same yellow metal.
When the contents of the
box were counted the money was
found TO aggregate very nearly
10000. The find was reported 70
the officers of the Probate Court. 1t
is said that the judge, when notified
OF the large and unexpected addition
to the estate expressed wonder and
a desire to know how the deceased
came bby such sum OF money, but
the widow could not give any ;nior
nation on the subject, having always
been kept in ignorance OF her hus-
bands business. The heirs are the
widow and three children, one OF
whom is grown up. Agent Frellson,
Of the Associated Charities, who is

morning They are nice German

them is prati6ed at their good luck.

the Christening Of his 0reat,grandson in
high dresses, and on Friday last the
exhibition OF semi-nude ladies, Young

Important Ruling in u Wilt Case Affect.

CHICAGO, Dec. Judge Tuley this morn
ing rendered decision involving the liza.
ability Of the Independent Order of For
esters under their insurance policies. W.
II. Niemeyer, member Of the order, was
insured for $1,000, the policy being made
payable to his WIFE At his death he left
will bequeathing 800 of the insurance &c
his two sons and 500 to his wife. The wife
made claim on the society for the
whole amount. In deciding the case.
Judge Tuley said in substance: "Was il
the intention OF the society to enter into
contract with the wife OF Niemeyer, or was
it an agreement or understanding with the
member! Most clearly the latter. No re.
lations existed between the wife and the
society. The certificate only recognizes
Niemeyer as the contracting party. The
society agrees not only that he may direct
to whom the endowment shall be paid, but
also that he may at pleasure change that
direction. The fact that the society gives
the member power to change the bene.
ficiary at pleasure indicates that the iii.
rection of the will shall prevail over any
previous direction in the certificate OF
otherwise

2p.ooO care,s Of rough dia

About 5000 carrots CT rough diamonds
reach the hands Of Amsterdam manufac-
turerS each week. When finished these
vary In price from four to Efty-five dollars
per caret, while some stones command very
much higher prices. The capital invested
in this trade is not all Dutch, for a very
large proportion Of the diamonds manip;-
lated in Amsterdam belong to London and
Paris houses. Berlin, Frankfort, st. Peters
burg, Moscow, Rome, Naples, Barcelona
and Madrid, as well as Paris, London and
New York, are all markets for diamonds
prepared in Amsterdam. Besides Antwerp
the diamond industry is carried On extern
siveiy nowhere else. The trade is usually
conducted on the cash system, credit being
generally short. The aggregate paid in
wages to diamond workers in Amsterdam
about E6O0, 90 per annum, and it is esti-
mated from 1000 to 5000 persons are en-
ployed in the industry, and in the business
Of buying and selling the rough and polished
stones. The wages Of the men engaged in
the various operations Of cleaning, cutting
and polishing are decreasing, because Of
the constant increase in the number of
skilled wOrkmen and the never-ceasing &C
cession Of apprentices. The declared ex-
ports Of diamonds from Amsterdam to the

The New York Court of Appeals Grants
Him New Trial.
ALBANY ". ", Nov. 3O-The Court OF
ppeals handed down its decision in the
Jacob Sharp case yesterday morning. 1t
reverses the decision of the lower court
and orders new trial. The decision says:
During the trial ex ceptOns were taken in
behalf of the defendant to several de-
cisions of the tria! court i'll admitting
against his objection certain items of testi-
mony which 1t is conceded were material.
and without which it is claimed by the APP
pelIant a conviction could not or might not
have been obtained. First. among others,
the counsel for the prosecution proved
that the defendant was examined as
a witness before committee of the
Senate of this State, appointed to
investigate among other things the
methods OF the Broadway Railway
Company in ObtaIEiag such consent and
also the action III respect thereto of the
Board Of Aldermen Of said city which
granted, or of any member thereof who
voted for the same, aud that he upon that
occasion gave testimony which the learned
council for the prosecution claimed to be
irrerutable evidence of his participation
and completely IN the commission Of the
crime. This testimony the prosecution
offered in evidence. Its admission on the
trial was objected to On the ground that it
was given under privileged circumstances;
that the defendant was compelled to attend
and testify, and that evidence thus
elected was not competent upon the trial
of a person where the subject under inquiry
is that about which he was then interro-
gated" The court decides that the admis-
sion of this testimony was contrary to sec
ton - Of the penal code and was there
fore an error. The admission of the
Pottle testimony was also an error. An
other error was found in the examination
of the witness, ex-Alderman Miller.
